During the Independence Day celebrations organized by the Supreme Court Bar Association, DY Chandrachud emphasized the importance of granting access to justice to all citizens and the need for the judiciary to be inclusive and accessible. He stated that the real strength of the judicial system lies in providing solace and a voice to individuals facing arbitrary arrests or threatened demolitions.
Chandrachud also mentioned the Supreme Court’s efforts to translate judgments into regional languages, with over 9,000 judgments already translated. He highlighted the need to prioritize infrastructure overhaul to ensure courts are accessible to all.
Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal also spoke about the importance of the rule of law and the need for a roadmap to develop India by 2047. The event was attended by several apex court judges, including the Attorney General and SCBA office bearers.
